Subject: Bug (ID 778JD): lock files (fwd)

From: Larry Wood <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 28 Jan 1997 16:21:50 -0500 (EST)

i am using pine in a unix environment with /usr/mail being
the post office. i have a user named duffy and his INBOX is
/usr/mail/duffy.

these files keep appearing in the /usr/mail directory:

    duffy.lock.853685224.13115.columbia
    duffy.lock.853797344.18536.columbia

do these come from your software? if so, under what circumstances?
mail to this user is frequently returned with a message indicating
trouble with a lock. upon removal of these files, the mail gets
through.
